Stellings and I'm sure Imco has what they call drive savers that bolt directly to the flywheel and the shaft flange bolts to the drive saver eliminating the coupler.

I didn't like that idea so I fould a pair of driveline bellhousings and transmission eliminators so that I could retain the couplers and soften the impact on the drives while shifting then I just shortened the shafts accordingly. So far works like a charm.

PS- I have a pair of the drive savers if you need them, $125. shipped to lower 48
